Where such are the pretensions advanced, the truth or the false lion(' of particular articles of faith becomes a secondary question. If Christ has appointed the Church of Rothe the exclusive pos sessor of his promises, the sole depositary of his authority, the in ! fallible judge in controversies regarding the faith, it is useless to debate on other matters. If this point is decided in her favour, our only resource is to acknowledge our errors, to sue for reconciliation, and accept the system of doctrines, which is proved to he true by her sanction. • EAST INDIA HOUSE.

A CHARGE delivered to the CLERGY of the DIOCESE of LONDON, at. the VISITATION, hi July 1826. By Wur. LORD BISHOP Of LONDON. ' We have been much gratified by the perusal of this able and elaborate charge, which does equal, credit to the zealous piety and to the enlightened judgment of its distinguished author ; the nature of a visitation charge does not, indeed allow any great latitude in the choice of topics, :but at the same time, those which it doeS embrace are susceptible of being placed_ in many new lights, aceording to the variation of the external circumstances of the church. It is to the present con dition- and prospects of the church, as affected by existing circumstances, that the Bishop has principally directed the attention of his hearers ; he has consider ed its 'welfare and stability as dependent upon no party teal o tipolitical advantages, but solely upon the regular, efficient; and conscientious discharge of their ordinary duties, by the great body of the clergy. He adverts to the increase of - Schools for the religious education of the poor,—to the erection or enlargement of Churches, winch has proVided accommodation for multitudes who before were debarred from access to public worship :—and to the increasing attention paid to those Societies through whose widely extended in fluence the Scriptures and other religious books are disteminated, and Missionaries sent out to carry the glad tidings of the Gospel to the remotest corners of the earth. These, with several charitable institutions peculiarly demanding the support of the Clergy, are brought before their notice, and impressive appeals Made on their behalf. Besides, howenr, some parts of the charge con fined to topics of little interest except to the clergy, there are portions on subjects of a more general nature. Of these we must present to our readers- entire the following masterly expod of the state of the question between the churches of England and Rome : In respect to her external relations, the affairs of the Church have proceeded not unsatisfaCtorily since our last meeting. Among the most remarkable events which have occurred during that pe riod, is the revival of controversy respecting the pretensions and doctrines of the Roman Catholic Church, which, in this country at least, had ceased fur many years to excite any considerable de gree of attention. The weakness of the grounds on. which that Church rests her claims to spiritual sovereignty over Christen dom, the authority which she assigns to tradition as a rule of faith, and the unscriptural character of many of those doctrines which she imposes on the belief of Christians, had been so clearly demonstrated by the early Reformers, and again by our divines after the Restoration, as to satisfy the nation at large of the ne cessity of separating from a communion which required the sacri fice of liberty and truth by the acknowledgment of an usurped power, and the profession of a corrupt faith. The arguments on both ,ides having been sifted again and again, and placed in every different view, the discussions were gradually discivitinued, or, if renewed from time to time by the zeal of divines, excited little interest. A long and active hostility subsided into a virtnal truce; the Protestant • laid down his arms in the confidence of victory, and the Roman Catholic was unwilling t ew an at• tack, from which, though firm in his persuasion,heWeen taught A Quarterly General Court of Proprietors of East India Stock was held yesterday, pursuant to the, charter. The court was very thinly attended, and the business which came before it did not possess the least public interest. After the ordinary routine business was transacted. The CHAIRMAN (S►r G. A. Robinson) moved the Court to confirm the resolution of the General Court of tion, that the achievements of the British army in Ava have nobly sustained our military reputation, and have pro duced substantial benefit to the national interests. - " During a period .of two years, from the first declara tion of hostilities against the . Government of Ava,.eVery disadvantage of carrying on a war in a distant and:fin:ost difficult country has been overcome, and the collective forces of the Burman empire, formidable (torn their numbers, the strength of the fortified positions, and the shelter afforded by the nature of the - country, have been repeatedly assailed and defeated. The persevering and ob ' stinate efforts of the enemy to oppose our advance having failed of success, and his resources and means of further r HE GALLERY " continues open, with the 1 COLLECTION of PICTURES from CARLTON PA ACE, which HIS MAJESTY has been graciously pleased to low the Directors to Exhibit. • Admittance (from Ten till Six), le.—Catalogue, ls. WILLIAM BARNARD, Kveper. the 24th of June last, appointing Captain Michael to the situation of Mahratta► translator to the Tanjore Commis sioners, at his present salary of 021. 10s. per annum, the said salary to; be increased to 1 - ,050/. per annum, for life, provided Captain Michael remained in the service of the Company, as Mahratta: translator, for so long a period as would, if be had remained in the military service, have entitled him to the command of a regiment. Captain MAXFIELD expressed a wish to receive some information as to the proceedings of the Carnatic and Tan jore: Commissioners. Some years ago it was understood that the Carnatic commission was on the point of closing its labours; but it now appeared to him, that the joint commission (drat of the Carnatic and of Tanjore) was likely to go on as long as the Company itself existed. He should be glad to learn what business the Commissioners had recently transacted, and what accounts they had still to adjust ? With respect to the appointment immediately before the Court, he must say, that. it appeared to him, that it would be much better to have the accounts trans lated in India, instead of having them placed before Cap tain Michael in this country. The CIiAIRIVIAN answered, that in the course the executive body had pursued, and were pursuing, in the matter alluded to, they were merely proceeding in confor mity with a positive Act of Parliament. The Court of Directors, and the Commissioners themselves, were most anxious.to bring the Arcot and Tanjore accounts to a close; but, in consequence of the vast number of claims (although the utmost diligence had been and was now used),the busi ness could not be settled with the speed which the honour able proprietor desired. He believed, :however, that the labours of the Commissioners, would not t be of any great duration. After a few words from Mr. S. DIXON, as to the futility of granting a salary for life to an individual, which indivi dual might outlive the term of the Company's charter, the motion was agreed , to. Mr. ADDINELL then moved for copies of the correspon dence between any department of his Majesty's Govern ment and the Court of Directors, on the subject of certain .peppers that had been sold, as .we understood, to him at one of the East India House :sales, and which had, subse quently been seized as smuggled goods, by some Custom. house officers. The Hon. Proprietor appeared to com plain (his statement, be it observed, was . very far from being clear) of the allegations contained in one of the let ters written on this occasion, and he was also exceedingly indignant at the local authorities in the East India Ilouse, for not having supported their own warrant, with becom ing firmness. Captain MAXFIELD seconded the motion. Mr. PATTISON would not oppose the production of papers which the lon. qairinan seemed willing to grant, but he begged leave to suggest, whether it would not be better to let the matter rest as it was ; the question hay. ing already been decided on by a Committee of the Cour . of Directors. After that decision he could see no prac tical good that could possibiy arise from bringing it under the eog»izanae of the Court of Directors. The motion was ultimately agreed to; it having been previously amended, on the suggestion of the (lawman, by including in its scope a letter written to the Court of Directors by Mr. Aildinell. Captain 114xPtELD,gave notice of a motion at the next general Court, for the revision of that part Of the .S.et of he: 59th of Geo. 111., which relates to . the hiring of cer ain vessels for six voyages.—The Court then adjourned. In these statements, it is far from my intention to excite angry feelings. My object has simply been, to explain, in exact cons►s tency with truth, and without unnecessary harshness of language, the actual position which the Church of Bowe has assumed in regard to the Churches which disclaim her authority, and the consequences which flow from her pretensions. Other Churches may differ from us in points of impOrtance; may reproach us with defect*. and corruptions, and think it right to abstain (ruin our commu nion. The Burnish Church asserts a title to privileges, which, if they really belong to her, cut us off frott► -connection with Christ, and place us, as rebels, usurpers, and. apostates, out of the pale of the Christian Church. Other Churches, if they fall into error, may be corrected by time anti reason. The obnoxious tenets of mauy Christian sects have either been dropped front their confes sions, or have silently sunk into oblivion. But the errors of Rome are imperishable ; they derive from her principles the character of immutability which belongs to . divine truth, and are asserted with equal confidence. Whet► we are acquainted with the true state of the contro versy, we may form our own conclusions, and these will undoubt edly lead us, as faithful sons of a Church, which neither in purity of doctrine, nor holiness of worship, nor the apostolical succession of its ministers, is inferior to any other Christian Church, with calmness and steadiness to resist an usurpation which would des poil us at once of our faith, our liberties, anti our sacred cha racter. Anti how is this to be done ?—Not surely retaliating mis-statements, invectives, and calumnies, or crudely asserting an unqualified right of private judgment, but by reference to primitive antiquity ; disproving the allegations of our op ponents fron► the silence of Scripture, of general tradition, of ancient writers, which in a case of , this nature is decisive ; appealing to the proceedings of Emperors, the acts of Councils, the language of Fathers, of Bishops, and even of Popes, which contradict the pretensions of the Papacy; anti tracing the growth of this ecclesiastical tyranny front its rise after the divi sion of the empire, till it attained to its heighth towards the close of the eleventh century. The Holy Scriptures, and the ge nuine records of ancient usage and practice, will in like manner supply us with proof of the real authority, the legitimate privi leges conferred on the Church, and derived immediately from . Christ on all particuiar Churches, which are true members of his body. And if we enter on our charge with that sense of its dig nity, and bumble reliance on aid from above, which we cannot but feel, if we are assured of our mission fron► Christ, and the truth of his promises to the Church, we may hope for the satis ' faction of confuting our adversariel of every description, not only by unanswerable arguments, but by the power of the spirit of God appearing in the fruits of our ministry."

In consequence oi this mutual forbearance, the reasons of our separation from Rome, and the real principles of the Homan Catholic: Church, which once had been generally known, were no longer familiar to the public ; and many persons were led to imagine, that a change had been sensibly wrought in her system, that she had modified her objectionable tenets, bad become inure tolerant to Christians of other persuavions, and was disposed, if not formally to dis avow her exclusive pretensions, yet to abstain from pressing them. It is true, that the principles which were taught in her schools of divinity, as well as the public documents put forth by her highest authorities contradicted this charitable supposition; but few persons would be at the trouble of examining lectures in theo logy, and it was said, with some chew of probability, that official papers must speak the language of form, which is prescribed by ancient usage, and is not always to be understood in its strict sense. The silence has however been broken ; and the question at issue between the Reformers and the Roman Catholic Church has been warmly debated on religious grounds, and, on, both aides, with no mean ability. Of the issue of such a controversy, even had the cause of truth been defended with less power of reason and eloquence than was displayed on this occasion, there could be little doubt. In the estimation at least of every Protestant, our adver saries have equally failed in the proof of their charges against our National Church, and in the defence of their own. It is not my intention to enter into the' general question, any branch of which is too large for the present occasion, and which has been ably and amply discussed in publications which are in the hands of every one. The point to which I would draw your attention, is the light which has been thrown, in the result of the controversy, on the character of the Romish Church ; the utter disproval •of any alteration, or even the possibility of alteration, in her principles, claiMs, or doctrines. Whatever differenee of opinion, under the counivauce, if not the allowance, of her rulers, may be tolerated, i n some respects and in some countries, all her Divines of any au thority agree in asserting, that she alone, with the successor of St. Peter at her heed, the representative ,of Christ upon earth, is the one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church, out of whose bosom there it no salvation ; that to her all Churches are subject, as their mo ther and mistress; the parent to whom they are indebted for their b e i n g; the sovereign from whom they derive their authority, awl to whom their allegiance is due; that in virtue of the promisee of Christ and the continual assistance of his Spirit, she is infallible, exempt from the possibility of error, in Matters of faith, and authorised to enforce her decisions on the consciefice of all 11risof faith, of worship, o f government, ill drawn i y onder the supremacy of the Pope; is oiies sential to the cons titution of her church, and admits of n o hit t:l:lstii unity Christians. to a The pd it peachment. Her authority she . cannot renounce in the slightest particular, because, emanating from Christ ,as ,r trust to be exer cited for the good of mankind,: it is inherent and inalienable; nor can she subject her doctrines to revision, hecausc_jnfallibility pre cludes aberration from truth, and truth is incapable of variation. The system of doctrine which she is thus engaged to maintain, has been long since defined and established, by the Council of Trent, and the creed of Pius the IVtli, which latter embodies the peculiar doctrines rejected by Protestants, and enjoins, under pain of damnation, their reception by every Christian, together with implicit belief of all that is held by the Romish Church, and the renunciation of all oppoeite,errors. To this must be - added, her utter rejecti on o f a ny distinction of doctrines into fun d amental or not fund amenta l : s h e regar d s not the importance of the doctrine: it is the slight to. her authority which subjects the offender to anathema, for the obvious reason, that by impugning her jndg quettions her pretence t o went on the most insignificant point, he inflillibili tY• This is 'ff I t strength of the RomishChurch, the principle which i of error, and prevents it . cements the systen from falling into inflexibility," as it is termed by her _ , vo ruin.

Were any of these to obtain the ascendancy, the ruin o the Church would be inevitable. But I see no cause for alarm while her Aliniaters are true to their profession. The great body of Dissenters show no aymptoma at irresent of particular acri mony against the Church. That many are Imbriumd in the faith, indisposed towards spiritual authority, and actuated by passionate z es t for their own tenets, can hardly be considered as extraor dinary ; but many there are, on the other hand, who differ little from us in doctrine, entertain a respect for the Church, and have too much of real piety, to thwart the views of the Clergy when they tend to the public good. The crowds that resort to the newly-built places of worship, give us reason to think, that the people iu general are neither unfriendly to the Ettablishment, nor indifferent to the Christian Religion. Infidelity, indeed, a few years ago, obtained a seeming advantage front the political agitation which then pervaded the country, aud was louder and holder than usual. But the effect was partial and transient, like the eruption of plague or fever, and the infection appears to be rapidly wearing out. «'e trust not, however, suppose that it is wholly extinguished : till vice, perverseness, and folly are banished from the world, some persona will always be found to deny the truth of Revelation, and treat its mysteries with contempt. But while their motions are jealously watched, and repressed in their commencement by sound reason, they may poison the morals of a few unhappy. individuals, and blast their hope of immortality, but will never endanger the safety of the Christian Church. The irregular action of religious feeling, the spirit of a disor derly fanaticism, is snore likely to be extensively mischievous, be• cantle it is peculiarly infectious in its nature, and violent in its operation. At the same time, we ought to consider, that this is an excess which 'arises from the overpowerful action of a good principle on minds disposed to disease, and that the same cause which leads weak men to extravagance, in persons of wood un derstanding and disciplined a ff ections p roduces real piety. Among these we shall always find some who, from conscientious motives,, will stand forward in defence of order and truth; and while we are not wanting in sincerity or prudence, we may reckon, with the blessing of God, on the eventual triumph of sound and sober faith. In our Christian labours we must expect to be crossed, not only by direct opposition, but by the warmth and impatience of inconsiderate seal : yet, with temper and judgment, we shall often succeed in uniting its violence, and, if not absolutely direct ing its *eourse, confining it within certain bounds. .1f we sleek that which is good, in the spirit of charity, and with a fervent desire to do the will of our heavenly father, we may safely re pose on that providential wisdom, which makes the passion and weakness of man subservient to its purposes of mercy. ANECDOTE OF MR. JUSTICEPrAZELEE.-1n his early days this excellent and humane Judge, together with Mr. L. a respectable gentleman then living in Holborn, were members of a Batchelor's Club, who, as they got married, were, as a matter of course ex pelled the Society. Mr. Gazelee (then a student) and Mr. L. were one day conversing upon their ture prospects, when Mr. L. offered a guinea to 100, that his friend would some day he called to the Bench. Young Gazelcc at that tune not having the most distant prospect of being thus distinguished, readily accepted the guinea offered by Mr. L. at the same dine agreeing that should the prognostic be realized, to pay 100 as proposed. Several years before the event ac tually took place, Mr. L. had been " gathered to his fathers," but the Judge recollecting his obligation en quired after the executors whom he found were also defunct, and that Mr. Shelton, the Coroner for the City of London, and Clerk of the Arraigns at the Old Bailey Sessions had succeeded them. 011 a recent occasion they being at dinner at the Sessions House, Mr. Justice Gazelee said, " Mt% Shelton, I have 100 guineas to pay into your hands," at the same time re lating how the obligation arose. Mr. Shelton long before this, communication had finally closed his exe cutorship, but he however received the 100 guineas, a nd resumed his office, Which gave him no little trouble, as he had to divide this unexpected windfall between 16 representatives of Mr. L., w h o were dispersed throughout the United Kingdom. These facts come from an unquestionable source ; to corn ment upon them is unnecessary. HOP INTELLIGENCE.

MErviso.—On Thursday last a meeting of Pl an ters took place at the Bidl Inn, Maidstone, agreeably to public notice, when the proposed principles of tying the blues was aban doned, in consequence of a proposition by Mr. C. T. Russell, to petition the Lords of the Treasury to allow of Bops being bonded, in Maidstone, for two years, with the understanding that the duty . _ _ . . . . on bops, already sent out of the county, should he paid on the Ist of July next. Another meeting is to be held at the Star Inn, on Thursday next, to consider of this proposition. . • The highest duty paid on hops for the last seventy-seven years was in 1808, when it amounted to 251,089/. ss. Id. The duty this year will probably exceed that sum, and, if so, the present crop may be considerecl the greatest crop that ever grew. The duty of the year 1823 amounted to 26,000/. only, and last year it was about 2&0001. The reader, must not, hoWever, imagines that the amount of duties here mentioned is the actual amount of all the taxes paid on hops. Persons conversant with the hop business, when speaking of the amount of duty, allude only to what is called the " old duty." The total amount of duty paid fur boil. in 1808, for instance, was 4,37,697/. 7s. 3d. The bet. tiug on the duty this year has been very inconsidet.able ; last year, on the contrary, it was very extensive. The following paragraph from a French Paper af fords an excellent specimen of French manners—We may add French folly : Last Sunday Baron Haugwita made a country party for Ruail, with a Madame D. a milliner at Paris, with whom he wall inti mately acquainted for the last three months. There he met some of the ordinary companions of his pleasures. The happy friends met at the Cafe Servais, where some bottles of Chem pagne put them in high spirits. The merriment had'already got to its height, when the Baron proposed to drink a bottle of Kirsch wasser. They dissuade hint from his purpose—he becomee im patient. Madame D. insiste—be persists-she severely reproaches and insults him—be *goes out for a moment—when he returns the milliner makes him feel his imprudence in leaving her alone with young people, who might offend her if they were less honourable. Here the anger of the Baron knew no bounds. He took ii chair and flung it through the wiudow. lii. friends at length came to pacify him, and in order to bill all his senses, they set themselves to drink beer. Then Madame D. alone seemed to continue in a state of ill-humour, and a further delay was proposed. " 1 must," said she, " set out to night, or cite 1 will throw myself out of the in baste the Baron de w ho m ." Each individual goes off, and the Baron and the fe male are left in the chamber on the second floor. Scarcely had a less i , )id the ld :i n few miuutes elapsed, when the noise of a person falling was beard fa g ll 'a b a y tto eh ri litl y ee° lailc u lcge th 4a e tlso fi nog r f st del in i ;o a r ir :itt i t ' i l on :i g h i v li e i n — t if in the street. People ran up—what do they behold ? Madame D. half dead, stretched in the st e rs r le sa t. il Did she throw herself down ? Did the Baron fling her out of the window ? Such were the questions each individual asked. At the how wretches! am 1!" In uttering these words, he threw ll 'l n; this affair to the authorities of V that place hastened to the spot. The woman, interrogated byle' tof wlsgistrate, positively declared that the ought misfortuoe to the Baron ; hut that, in a not to imp u t e this moment of deli r i unt maul distraction, she threw herself out of the window of her apartment.

Impressed with sentiments of high admiration, for those eminent qua lities so conspicuously and successfully displayed by Major- General Sir Archibald Campbell, his Lordship, in Coun cil, rejoices in the opportunity of expressing to that dis tinguished soldier, in the most public manner, the ac knowledgments and thanks of the supreme Government, for the important service lie has rendered the Hon. East India Company, and to the British nation. " The thanks of Government are also eminently due to the senior Officers ' who have so ably and zealously see Major-General onsl ed Sir A. Campbell in his career of victory. Brigadier-General Cotton, M'lleun, and M'Creagh, de servedly hold a high place in the estimation of his Lord ship, in Council, who has repeatedly had occasion to notice with applause the gallantry, skill, and promptitude, die played by those officers in the execution of the Various important operations entrusted to their direction. " Animated by the same noble spirit, Brigadiers Miles, Shaw, Ebrington, Armstrong, Smelt, Hunter, Blair, Bro die, Naper, Park, Godwin, Hopkinson, and Sale, have entitled themselves to the distinction of receiving, from the Governor-General, in Council,,on this occasion, the re newed exisresaion of the sense entertained of theiretai nent services, for which they have, on various oesasions, received the thanks of Government through Major-Gene ral Sir Archibald Campbell. " Amongst. these zealous gallant offieets, some have been more fortunate than others in enjoying opportunities of performing special services. The ability with which Lieutounit-Colonel Godwin, of his Majesty's 41st, achie ved the conquest of the fortified town of , Mertaban, and of its dependencies, appears to confer on that officer a just claim to the separate and distinct acknowledgement of the, Governor-General, in Council. in like Malllitit, Lieu tenant-Colonel Miles, and Brigadier-General M'Creagh, have entitled themselves to the special thanks 'of Goveru merit for their services ; the former in the capture of Tavoi and Mergui, and the latter in that of the island of Cheduba. ." The limits of a General Order necessarily preclude the Governor-General, in Council, from indulging in the satisfaction of recording the names of those officers whose services and exploits at this moment crowd upon the grateful recollections of the Government, by whom they were duly appreciated and acknowledged at the time of their occurrence. his Lordship,. n Connell, requests that those officers will collectively and individUally accept this renewed assurance that • their meritorious exertions will ever be cordially remembered. " The frequent mention in the public despatches of the gallantry and zeal of Lieutenant-Colonel Sale, deservedly marks that officer as one who has established peculiar claims to the distinguished notice of his Lordship, in Courted. The services of the Bengal and Madras . Foot Artillery, under Lieutenant-Colonel Hopkinson and Lieutenant-Col. Pollock, and of the Bengal RoCket Troop and HOrse Ar tillery, under Captains Graham and Lumsdera, deserve also the special acknowledgments of Government.

The services of Superintending-Surgemi Howard, and the officers of the Medical Department, and of Captain Fiddes, and the of ficers of the Commiasariat, are fully appreciated by his Lordship, in Council. The Governor-General, in Council, finds himself at a loss for adequate terms to describe the satisfaction with which the Government regards the general good conduct of the troops, European and Native, , who have served in Ave. Their ; pat.ent endurance of the fatigues, privations, and niceness, to which they were unavoidably exposed in a hostile country, and in an inclement s eason, subsequently to the capture of: Rangoon, was not less conspicuous d an praiseworthy, than the spirit and' determi ned resolution with which they maintained, during that period, an inces sant and most harassing warfare of gallantry in storming the Burmese stockades, however strong, their defence by nature ant.
